It's Okay if Your Self-Care Looks Different Right Now
It’s okay if your self-care routine looks different right now, or is requiring more effort. A friend and I talked about this recently and I realized how true this is. Is that walk you used to take that made everything a lot better, just not cutting it anymore? Does taking that walk feel more like […]
There is Beauty in Passion
The other day, I saw a TikTok about being passionate. The scenario is one person asking someone else about what they were really passionate about as a kid, and the other person’s eyes light up as she starts talking about what her childhood passion was. Eventually, though, she starts to feel self-conscious and apologizes for […]
Keep Holding Onto Hope
Life is truly a rollercoaster. It’s full of excitement, highs, fear, lows, uncertainty and regret. Those are probably all some of the feelings you’ve had, before, during or after a rollercoaster ride. Right now my rollercoaster is in one of those low spots. It’s been so frustrating to watch my mom fight pancreatic cancer for […]
Prioritize Yourself
As a society, we tend not to prioritize self-care and mental wellness. We are a career-focused people, and we typically let work take precedence over wellness. With all that has happened in the past year, though, that mentality is starting to change. I’ve noticed the change in my own life, especially over the past few […]
Choose to Start Despite Your Fears
I woke up this morning like, “oh crap, I don’t know what to write about for tomorrow’s blog.” I still really don’t. I am feeling less than inspirational. But I think the really cool thing about blogging or journaling is that there is a flow to it. Once I start writing, some idea just starts […]

The outpouring of love and support for the first black, Indian-American, and female Vice President, the youngest Inaugural Poet, and the new President has been a beautiful sight to see. I, along with many others, woke […]
Thank You for Being You
Thank you for being you. Thank you for being who you are. We have all likely heard the quote, “the world needs more of you” 100 times, but it is so true. The world needs more of you and all the beauty that you add to it. This week, I did a presentation where for […]
Set Boundaries to Avoid Burnout
We have had to deal with so much lately—not only as a country, but as individuals, too. On the national level, we’ve seen riots at the Capitol, National Guard deployed to D.C. in preparation for Inauguration, economic downturn, and COVID raging on. Plus, we have to deal with anything going on in our individual lives. […]

It's Okay to Start Again—You Are Recovering & Growing
I know I am not alone when I say I struggled with the “supposed to’s”. It was my birthday week, so it was supposed to be a great week. And for the most part, it was. But it really all felt like it came crashing down the day after when I felt really self-conscious about […]
